Midi Fullness
View this Thread in Original format
catalystG5
Hi all. i was just wondering if someone could make me a midi file with s fullness pattern (its usually in the first couple of beats before the kick starts, it includes snare hat etc). Ive been trying to make this for a few weeks now but i just cant get it right. A good exaple of what im talking about is from "lange vs gareth enery - another you another me (original mix). im talking about the beats that go up to and including the 45 sec.

Thanks in advance

Ok i found a sample of what im talking about. http://www.badongo.com/file/2329435 i want the midi file so that i can change all the snare, hat etc. sounds into something i like
gwrmarines
Vengeance samples huh, why don't you just use that? Change some frequencies so it sounds different or something, im sure you wanna learn how to do it as do I but I put it in FL and looked at the WAV and figured some crap out. I'm no expert but i thought i would give it a go.

I know i left some stuff out but try and listen to it at a low volume and mess around putting your samples over it to cover it up, you know like matching it. I'm pretty buzzed right now so i cant hear everything right but i hope this starts you out.

ROFL there is so much more to making a groove like that than MIDI...

If your such an expert why not tell me all about it....
Oh and thanks heaps for the advice and midi gwrmarines although i was thinking more about the background noise like snare bongo and stuff like that. i know the basic patterns of the kick hats and clap but im missing the background sounds. my loops that i try to make just dont sound full. they sound verry empty

He's right, just making a drum pattern with the MIDI notes isn't enough. Those VEC loops (the ones which aren't ripped from tracks) have tons of EQ, compression, and quite possibly a few other things like light distortion or tube effects, flangers, etc.

You simply won't get that kind of sound with a plain vanilla sequence of plain vanilla samples.

It definitely has something to do with the velocity. Its hard to get a good groove if everything is at the same volume every time. Its the accents that make it groove. A little bit of shuffle helps too, makes it sound less robotic.

what do you mean by shuffle

u need a highpassed kick, a shaker, an opeh hihat, and a close hat. and something else im not catching atm, its some kind of effect i think on the first bar

and craploads of group compression and compressed reverb.

personally i think it sounds like crap.
